To give or not to give, part 4!
When posting, do NOT push enter after the title or you will have 3 titles with no posts! what an airhead! Anyway, on to the post! I know it's Christmas time and we are all busy, but if you read this even after the holidays, your opinion would be helpful. Recently, the Ralph Hawks siblings had a conversation about the gift giving tradition amongst themselves. Right now, we shop for 1 sibling/sibling's family. Sometimes it is very difficult and stressful to find the "right" gift (and we only shop for 1 sibling!) Chris had a very good point that as our families get larger, it becomes more difficult. So, what do other families do to remain close, yet not stress over the gift giving? I'm obviously in my own "zone" here, so if it doesn't make sense, then still leave a nice comment-k-

Have an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest instead! That's what Brian's family did this year instead of exchanging gifts - it just got too crazy and overwhelming to find a gift for each of the kids' cousins. It was still fun to get together and focus on fun rather than giving. We still exchange gifts with adults, but that's it.
I love all the posts!!! You know that you can delete those, right? he he
I love the look of your blog! This is fun isn't it!
What my husband's family has been doing is put the names of the siblings in a hat and then one person from that family picks the name and that is the family you have that year. There are 7 kids in all and now that some are starting to get married and have kids, it is just too large to buy for everyone. My father's side of the family (all 7 brothers) does it this way also (only it rotates instead of choosing each year) so you could ask Chris how exactly it works. It is just a suggestion!!
I do not think that my tree needs any more branchs. Unlike someone people I still like to be able to see and access the rest of my house as well as enjoy my Christmas Tree.
